Spectacled langur

SCIENTIFIC NAME:

Trachypithecus obscurus

PROFILE:

Langurs are mostly arboreal (tree dwelling) and are excellent at brachiating, which is a type of locomotion that many arboreal primates use to move from tree to tree. The spectacled langur is named after the unique markings on its face. These markings resemble glasses or spectacles!
